W. J. Mahon's catalogs for men's fashions (Spring & Summer, 1901)
This is a 1901 spring and summer men's fashion catalogue issued by the W. J. Mahon firm, showing tailored suits and coats for male customers. Its plates present numbered suit styles drawn as full-length figures in sack suits, frock coats and top coats, with cut, buttoning and lapel details labelled beneath each group. A designer could take from them the silhouettes, proportions and tailoring details of late Victorian menswear, including hats, canes and striped and checked cloths.
